Optos watches shares tumble in difficult times

OPTOS, the Scottish retinal imaging company, has seen its share price tumble after customers held off ordering new machines in the first half of its financial year.

Shares in Fife-based Optos fell 17.4%, down 35p to 166p, after the company indicated sales of its Daytona ultra-widefield rental imaging device were "softer than we had hoped for at this stage of its launch".
